Favorites of myself are the unforgotten Kate Wolf, and the wonderful songs of Dave Carter too. In Germany I like songs from Gerhard Gundermann, FJ Degenhardt and Tamara Danz.

All these singer/songwriters died too soon. But in my heart they will live forever, and they will live when we sing some of the songs, both in english and german lyrics.

I began also to transform german songs in english. One example is the song "A new day", originally a german song "Ein neuer Tag" but the basic is an irish novel. And thats the circle I like :-)

I try to understand the great and creative scene from western/country music, bluegrass and singer/songwriters up from USA and Canada, back to irish/scottish/welsh sources and down to Australia. And I am happy to have some really engaged people here in South Germany who make concerts possible with great singer /songwriters like Hugh and Katy Moffatt, Kimmie Rhodes, Laurie Lewis, James Talley and so on....
